  • Patent number: 6969746
    Abstract: Process for the preparation of ethylene copolymers, and their use as additives to mineral oil and mineral oil distillates. The invention relates to a process for the preparation of terpolymers of ethylene and at least 2 further olefinically unsaturated compounds by polymerization in a tubular reactor fitted with at least one side branch, wherein the fresh monomer components, which are introduced into the tubular reactor via the reactor inlet (the primary stream) or via the side branch or side branches (secondary stream or secondary streams), in each of the streams contain ethylene and at most one further olefinically unsaturated compound.

  • Patent number: 5496482
    Abstract: To prepare a corrosion-inhibiting liquid de-icing agent based on alkali metal acetates, 30 to 50 percent strength by weight alkali metal hydroxide solution is introduced into a reaction container provided with a cooling device and a mixing device, and 85 to 100% strength acetic acid is metered into the reaction container until the ratio by weight of acetic acid to alkali metal hydroxide solution therein (0.30 to 0.45):1. A portion of this solution is transferred from the reaction container to a stirred dissolving tank and 0.03 to 1% by weight, relative to the batch, of benzotriazole and/or tolyltriazole and/or imidazole is dissolved therein. The resulting solution containing azole is introduced into the reaction container along with 0.01 to 0.2% by weight of phosphoric acid, relative to the batch. Acetic acid continues to be metered into the reaction container until the density of the solution in the reaction container is 1.07 to 1.39 g/cm.sup.3 at 20.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 5238592
    Abstract: The de-icing agent described comprises an aqueous solution of at least one alkali metal acetate or at least one alkaline earth metal acetate or a mixture of the two and water as the main components, and 0.01 to 1% by weight of at least one water-soluble triazole compound or at least one water-soluble imidazole compound or a mixture of the two and, if appropriate, 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of at least one alkali metal phosphate as inhibitors. The process described for melting snow and ice on traffic surfaces comprises application of an effective amount of the novel de-icing agent to the ice- and/or snow-covered surfaces to be treated.

  • Patent number: 4971778
    Abstract: For working up concentrated, preferably partially condensed phosphoric acid which is contaminated with organic components, the phosphoric acid is first thoroughly mixed with fine-grained sand in a weight ratio of (0.5 to 1.5):1. Then, to neutralize the mixture, a basic, oxygen-containing calcium compound is added, while the thorough mixing is continued, until a 10% aqueous suspension of the mixture to which the calcium compound has been added has a pH between 5 and 11. Finally, the mixture which contains the calcium compound is commminuted after cooling.

  • Patent number: 4906445
    Abstract: A continuous process is indicated for complete removal of organic impurities from and complete decolorization of pre-purified wet-process phosphoric acid which has been purified by an extractive method using an organic solvent, freed from residual hydrofluoric acid by steam stripping and treated with hydrogen peroxide at elevated temperature, which comprises mixing the pre-purified wet-process phosphoric acid and the hydrogen peroxide in a mixing zone at a temperature of from 100.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably 140.degree. to 160.degree. C., and allowing them to react at this temperature for a further 1 to 4 hours, cooling to from 85.degree. to 90.degree. C. the pre-purified wet-process phosphoric acid treated in this way and pumping it at this temperature with exclusion of air firstly through an activated charcoal bed which has been prepared on the basis of peat and has been steam-activated and has a BET surface area of from 800 to 1000 m.sup.
